Although the works of Francis Hutcheson are unfamiliar to most
students of philosophy, it cannot be said that he has been entirely
ignored. To be sure, most of the recent writers who deal with
Hutcheson's philosophy do so in the course of writing about
Hutcheson's famous contemporary, David Hume. This is true, for
example, of Norman Kemp Smith, whose book entitled The Philosophy
of David Hume 1 includes much detailed information concerning
Hume's indebtedness to Hutcheson. But others have written about
Hutcheson on his own account. William R. Scott's Francis
Hutcheson,2 although mainly biographical and historical, is well
worth reading. In his article "Some Reflections on Moral-Sense
Theories in Ethics," 3 C. D. Broad presents a sustained analysis of
the sort of theory held by Hutcheson. D. Daiches Raphael's The
Moral Sense 4 is competent, interesting, and especially valuable in
its treatment of epistemological issues surrounding the moral sense
theory. William K. Frankena's article entitled "Hutcheson's Moral
Sense Theory" Ji is search ing and profound. And, most recent of
all, a book by William T. Black stone has appeared entitled Francis
Hutcheson and Contemporary Ethi cal Theory. 6 One of the
difficulties encountered in presenting a study of Hutcheson is that
all of his books are extremely rare. Fortunately, L. A.
Selby-Bigge'l) 1 Nonnan Kemp Smith, The Philosophy of David Hume
(London: Macmillan and Co. , Limited, 1949). Ii William Robert
Scott, Francis Hutcheson (Cambridge, Eng. : Cambridge Uni venity
Press, 1900).
